When deputies tracked him to his nearby home, he answered the door holding a large knife. During the struggle, he cut his own wrist. Consequently, Steven Scott Pavlik was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and resisting arrest. He was taken to Martin County Jail, where he continued making erratic threats and bizarre claims before the case was officially closed by arrest.
